Wen Wan got the news as soon as possible. Xia Yao's face was very cold: "Princess, I will send someone to deal with this woman."
Wen Wan stood up with a serious look on her face. Xia Yao didn't know what Wen Wan was going to do, so she followed her. Xia Yao was a little confused when she saw Wen Wan entering the study. According to past experience, the princess usually goes into the study room and thinks about things slowly when she is in trouble and needs to understand something. What's going on now. Xia Yao felt excited. Could it be that the princess was considering executing Qi Liniang?
When Bai Shinian returned to the house, he didn't see Wen Wan. Hearing that Wen Wan was in the study, he wanted to go in. But he was stopped by Xia Yao: "General, the princess is thinking about something in the study. General, don't go in for the time being, so as not to disturb the princess."
Bai Shinian looked at Xia Yao doubtfully. Xia Yao has been very eye-catching during this period. He could see that Xia Yao and Wen Wan had a great tacit understanding. Coupled with Wen Wan's special treatment of Xia Yao, Bai Shinian turned back to the house even though he was confused.
But after waiting for more than half an hour, Wen Wan still didn¡¯t come out. He was a little impatient, but was still stopped by Xia Yao who was guarding the door: "General, the princess sometimes thinks about things, and she has been thinking about them for more than three hours at the longest. Just wait patiently."
Bai Shinian didn't dare to force himself. Although he had never fought against Xia Yao, he could serve as Wen Wan's personal bodyguard. Even the emperor who was too weak could not give Wen Wan. Moreover, Xia Yao had a special status, so he did not dare to use force. So try to calm yourself down: "Tell me, did something happen?"
Xia Yao nodded: "Yes, it's a business matter. The general can't help you much. Please wait patiently! I believe it will be fine soon." Before Wen Wan could decide whether to tell Bai Shinian, she was absolutely Won't say a word.
Bai Shinian choked. He might be able to help with other things, but when it comes to business matters, he can't even read a ledger, so how can he help? Bai Shinian was frustrated and went back to the house to wait.
Xia Yao couldn't help but laugh when she saw Bai Shinian's depressed expression. Bai Shinian just left. Wen Wan came out and happened to see a smile on Xia Yao's lips: "What happy thing can make you smile so happily?"
Xia Yao told what happened just now and said with a smile: "You didn't see it. The general is like an eggplant beaten by frost. The princess should hurry up and comfort the general."
????????????????????????????????: "Hurry up and get someone to pass on the dinner, I'm already hungry." After saying that, he also entered the house. Xia Yao went out with a smile.
Wen Wan went into the room and saw Bai Shinian leaning on the bed, picking up a book and flipping through the pages. Jin Wenwan came in and jumped up from the bed: "Has it been dealt with?"
Wen Wan nodded: "It hasn't been dealt with yet, let's leave it for now. We'll deal with it when we get back. Anyway, we will go back tomorrow and the day after. We don't care if it takes a day or two."
Bai Shinian took Wen Wan's hand: "Daughter-in-law, come back to the capital. Just tell the emperor that you can't work too hard now. Leave these errands to others! You can't be tired. What's wrong with your body!" People who are pregnant with children. , where can I be tired!
Wen Wan smiled and said, "The imperial doctor has not confirmed the diagnosis yet. If the diagnosis is confirmed, the emperor's uncle will definitely send someone to take over. Don't worry, I am sensible and will not let myself get tired." Seeing the worry in Bai Shinian's eyes. He smiled so hard that he pulled Bai Shinian away: "Don't worry, your son won't be tired, okay? It's so late. I didn't come out, and you didn't know to eat first. You're going to have dinner."
This matter is over. On the second day, Xia Yao, who knew her gentle temperament, looked at Bai Shinian for a while and asked quietly: "Princess, is there anything wrong with Qi Li Niang?" It seemed that there was nothing wrong. But Wen Wan's attitude couldn't help but make her think too much.
Wen Wan's face was a little solemn, "Maybe I'm overthinking it. But to be cautious, you should go collect more information about Qi Li Niang. I always feel that something is wrong. I thought about it for so long yesterday, but I couldn't figure out the reason. "
Xia Yao's face turned cold: "Princess Princess. Otherwise, just kill her." Xia Yao rarely saw anything that embarrassed Wen Wan. My intuition is that it will be good if it is handled.
Wen Wan waved her hand: "No need to act rashly. Just leave it alone until I think about it clearly." She suddenly wanted to see Qi Liniang. Look at this woman, is she really crazy or pretending to be crazy? It¡¯s nothing more than a true infatuation, it¡¯s nothing more than accompanying a heavy dowry. Well settled. If you are pretending to be crazy, that is no small matter.
Wen Wan hoped in her heart that she was being suspicious. But just to be on the safe side, it¡¯s better to check. If nothing goes wrong, the most she can do is to worry about it a little more. If something goes wrong, it will affect her happiness for the rest of her life, so she can't be careless.
Seeing the gentle look on her face, Xia Yao asked cautiously: "Princess, don't tell the general anymore. Qi Liniang should be able to arrive in the capital tomorrow. Tell the general and let the general make preparations. Let's see how to deal with it."
Wen Wan shook her head: "I don't plan to tell him for the time being. As for Qi Li Niang, don't worry about it for the time being. Let her do whatever she wants. As long as you know her movements. I have other plans."
Xia Yao was puzzled: "Princess, is Qi Liniang really inappropriate?" Probably not, Qi Liniang is Qi Quan's direct daughter, and she can be considered a noble daughter. There could be nothing inappropriate. Besides, as long as Qi Quan is not crazy, he doesn't dare to have any bad thoughts.
Wen Wan shook his head: "I don't know either. I've been thinking about it for a long time and can't figure it out. But I always feel that something is wrong. I just haven't found it yet. There's no rush, just leave it alone. Wait until you meet the person. If you really have ulterior motives, People who are prepared are not afraid.¡±
Xia Yao nodded: "I will send someone to keep an eye on her." Xia Yao also thinks that Wen Wan is too suspicious. In this position, caution is good, and being cautious is safer.
After dinner, the two of them went out for a walk to eat as usual. When the two of them were together, it was Bai Shinian who talked the most. To put it mildly, she really liked hearing Bai Shinian talk to her, so she asked Bai Shinian to talk more.
What Bai Shinian said during this period was probably as much as what he said during his year at the border. But he enjoys it.
When going to bed at night, Bai Shinian touched Wen Wan's belly again: "Daughter-in-law, what do you think we should name our son? What do you think of calling it Mingwu?"
Wen Wan showed a look of disgust: "It sounds awful. Look at other people's children, how good their names are. If you choose such an ugly name, the child will definitely be called aggrieved in the future."
Bai Shinian thought about it for a long time, and finally asked tentatively: "What about Mingjie?"
Wen Wan rejected the six names chosen by Bai Shinian with a face. In the end, she couldn't stand it anymore, so she smiled and said: "Don't bother. The child's name must have been chosen by the emperor's uncle. If you choose it now, you won't need it in the future." Go. It¡¯s better to think about a nickname for your son first.¡±
Bai Shinian stopped talking. His right to name his son was taken away, and he didn't dare to complain. It is an honor for an emperor to name his son. Many people can't wait for it: "It's up to you to choose the nickname!"
Wen Wan fell asleep, and Bai Shinian was still looking at Wen Wan with vigour.
Luo Shouxun thought about it for a few days, and finally decided that I should not let my concubine go. He wrote a letter of divorce to Mr. Dou. Someone sent her back to Dou's house. Of course, at the same time, a lot of money was given to her, and the jewelry and other items she used in the past were also packed and taken away. The concubines who were causing trouble at the same time were all sold out.
This incident let people in the Duke's Mansion know that Mei'er's position in the Duke's Mansion was unshakable. The people below, especially Luo Shouxun's concubine in the backyard, did not dare to act rashly anymore.
Ping'er knows the news. He said happily: "Madam, Madam Dou is divorced, which can be regarded as a relief for Madam. Madam has finally come to the end of her hardships." Madam Dou is the second wife. She is a side chamber and has a different status from other concubines. In the days when Madam first got married, she suffered a lot. Now that he is divorced, the wife is the one who benefits the most. Other concubines are not the same.
There was no joy on Mei'er's face, just a light one. She should have been happy when Mrs. Dou was divorced. But Mei'er couldn't be happy, but felt boring. Dou had already destined this ending when his wife died. Because the Duke's wife hated the Tai Fu and the Sixth Master deeply, the Dou family was able to come here safely in the past few years. The prince protects each other, and the old lady doesn't want to cause trouble with the prince over this matter. But now, I can no longer tolerate it.
Ping'er saw Mei'er's expression: "Madam, what's wrong with you?" She should be happy, but why didn't Madam look happy at all?
Meier didn¡¯t speak, she was reflecting. Is the Crown Prince really worth giving your sincerity to? Maybe. Just treat each other as husband and wife and respect each other. If you really give your heart away, it is destined to be a heartbreak. Because Meier couldn't guarantee that after she gave her heart, Luo Shouxun would stay for her in the future.
Meier could only smile bitterly when she thought of this, it was impossible. It is said that the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. When he sees those beautiful and delicate women in the future, Luo Shouxun will still take the house. It is impossible to cultivate one's moral character in the future, stop attracting beautiful people, and it is also impossible not to go into the building to be romantic and happy. Let's just live like this, just live like this, but it will lose a bit of bondage. She doesn't have Wen Wan's confidence, nor does she have Wen Wan's courage to break the boat (Meier knows that Wen Wan will not marry if she can't find her lifelong partner), so she can only guard her heart.
Meier was feeling sad when she heard the cry of her son, Little Leopard. There is no time to be sad about Spring and Autumn. Coaxing my son is a big deal. Meier hugged her son and thought?The struggle just now made me laugh suddenly. She was in a daze. Why do you always want to be on par with Wen Wan? Wenwan has Wenwan's life, and she has her own life. There is no other Wenwan in the world. Wenwan has all kinds of luck and blessings, but the prerequisite is that she has the blood of the royal family and is the only niece of the current saint. Otherwise, there would be no such gentleness as it is today. Even so, it was through many hardships.
Mei'er hugged her son and whispered: "It's good to have such a blessing. But it also depends on the fact that there is no such blessing. People should be content." Compared with many people, she is already very happy now. For example, her concubine Mudan was so arrogant at home and often caused trouble for her. Nowadays, life in the Wang family is miserable, and his husband is also a greedy person. There were many women in the house. If the Wang family hadn't considered her as the wife of the Crown Prince's son, they might have divorced her. So, days like this are really good.
Qi Liniang arrived in the capital on the afternoon of the second day of February. The strange thing is that after arriving in the capital, he didn't go directly to the general's mansion. He didn't go to Qi's house either, and stayed at an inn.
Everyone in the capital is paying attention. It is said that Princess Wenwan and Bai Shinian will return to the capital tomorrow. I don¡¯t know what good show there will be to watch tomorrow.
Wen Wan got the news in the shortest possible time: "Staying in an inn, not going to the mansion, not to Qi's house? What does she want to do?" She won't go to her husband's home, and she won't go back to her natal family either. Staying directly at the inn, what kind of trick is this woman playing? Could it be that there is really something hidden? The more Wen Wan thinks about it, the more she thinks so. Otherwise, she really couldn't understand this Qi Liniang's thinking.
While Wen Wan was talking to Xia Yao, Bai Shinian came in. After Wen Wan asked Xia Yao to go down, she took the dry towel. Wiping Bai Shinian's wet hair.
Wen Wan chatted with Bai Shinian all the time. But he did not tell Bai Shinian about Qi Liniang's arrival in the capital. It wasn't that she deliberately concealed it, but based on Wen Wan's understanding, Bai Shinian must have asked someone to escort Qi Liniang back to the general's mansion and lock her up. She hasn't even figured out what Qi Liniang has in mind. If Qi Liniang wants to perform, then let her perform as much as she can. It's just that I don't know if Bai Shinian will settle the score with her later.
Bai Shinian stopped when he saw Wen Wan's hand: "What are you thinking about?"
Wen Wan smiled and said, "I was thinking about what happened just now." Wen Wan hesitated whether to tell Bai Shinian. If you tell her, you won't see the follow-up, and if you don't tell her, you'll be afraid of Bai Shinian being angry.
Bai Shinian said with a smile: "If you can say it, then say it. If you can't say it, then don't say it. I don't understand these things. I can't help you." Bai Shinian thought Wen Wan was talking about business matters. He knew nothing about business.
Wen Wan did not expect that Bai Shinian would be so young, so she smiled cheerfully: "Then after you find out, don't be angry. If you are angry, you will prove to be a stingy person."
Bai Shinian didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "If you don't get angry, you won't get angry." He was so petty about such a trivial matter. Bai Shinian didn't know that Wen Wan was digging a hole for him!
Bai Shinian touched Wen Wan's back: "Daughter-in-law, I'm going back tomorrow. Go to bed early, we have to rush tomorrow. I don't know if I can bear the bumps."
"Shi Nian. I really don't want to go back. It would be great if I could live like this for the rest of my life." After saying that, she hugged Bai Shinian and couldn't bear to move.
"I'm reluctant to let go! But, it can't always be like this. Just relax a little. You still need the protection of me and the soldiers at the border." Bai Shinian also showed his reluctance in his eyes, but he still didn't make random promises. Now that you have decided to take this path, you cannot give up halfway.
"I know." He said softly and cowardly. Well, whether it was ancient times or now, marrying a soldier is not a good choice. Being able to follow the army is pretty good, but those who cannot follow the army gather less and stay apart more often. Miserably waiting for the day to meet again. Fortunately, in modern times, at least we still have family leave. A man can visit his wife even if he can't go back to her. He can see her once or twice a year, and he can still be the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. Even the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl can't do it now. Transportation was underdeveloped, and it would take two or three months to rush back to the capital at the border, and as a general, he couldn't move around at will. It's a good thing he's not the leader this time. If he is promoted to the chief general of the border, it will be even more difficult to come back. Qi Quan was not seen waiting at the border. He only returned twice in more than thirty years. Wen Wan panicked as she thought about waiting ten years, three thousand six hundred and fifty days.
Bai Shinian felt very guilty: "Daughter-in-law"
Wen Wan endured the sourness in her heart and took Bai Shinian's hand and put it on her stomach: "It's okay. You're gone. At least he's with me! But you, who have been at the border for ten years, have to take good care of yourself." After thinking about it. Next, such an atmosphere was really not good, so he turned fiercely and said: "I tell you, you are waiting for me in the capital, and you are not allowed to bring any gossip to me anymore, let alone cause any trouble to me. Otherwise, I¡¯ll give you a good look.¡±
Bai Shinian knows the meaning of gentleness.??Smilingly said: "How do you look good to me?"
Wen Wan turned around and smiled slyly: "What do you think about letting your son call someone else daddy?" The direct consequence of this sentence was to make Bai Shinian furious. He dealt with Wen Wan severely. If Bai Shinian hadn't thought that Wen Wan was still pregnant, it might have been even more tragic.
Wen Wan laughed so much that she almost couldn't breathe. Bai Shinian said fiercely: "Wen Wan, I'll spare you this time. If you say something like this next time, you won't be so easy to talk to."
Wenwan is still smiling. It seemed that Bai Shinian was really pissed off this time, and even his name was called out directly.
Although Bai Shinian knew that Wen Wan was telling a joke, the joke still made him feel frightened. Thinking about it, if his son calls someone else daddy, it doesn't mean that his wife has remarried. Just thinking about it, there is smoke coming out of his head. This time he finally understood why Wen Wan was so angry that day. Even if I knew it was a lie, I couldn't stand the thought of, well, even if it was a one in ten thousand possibility: "Daughter-in-law, don't worry, that will never happen."
Wen Wan was just joking: "I believe you."
Bai Shinian had a deeper thought: "Daughter-in-law, after your son is born, you can draw a picture of his son and give it to me. Okay?" The last sentence was a bit low.
Wen Wan nodded immediately: "Okay. After they are born, I will draw them for you to see." But even so. Calculating the time, one month of confinement would take more than a month to travel at the fastest. He would have to wait at least two or three months after the child was born to see his son's portrait. Still, it's better than nothing.
The two of them talked again, Wen Wan couldn't stand it anymore. Fell asleep.
I got up early the next morning and packed my things early. After Wen Wan finished washing, she got on the carriage. The carriage cushions were thicker than before. I'm afraid Wen Wan will be bumpy. Wen Wan laughed a little. She was so fragile, but she still wanted to ride a horse!
The two of them were in the carriage, Wen Wan looking at the people outside. Comparing the guards around Bai Shinian with the people around her, Wen Wan always felt, well. It seems that they are not as strong as her guards: "How high are the martial arts of these guards around you." If there is any accident, the guards are the last line of defense. If the martial arts is too low. But it won¡¯t work.
Bai Shinian was a little surprised, but he still said with a smile: "Of course there is no comparison with the guards around you. Why did you suddenly think of this?"
Wen Wan fell into deep thought: "I want to find two masters for you, what do you think? Although these guards of yours look good, I feel that they are far behind Martial Star Xia Yao and the others." Although Wen Wan I haven't practiced martial arts, but I can't find anything with my eyesight. It really feels like a far cry.
Although Bai Shinian had never fought against Xia Yao Wuxing, he asked himself that he was not sure of winning against either of them: "The individual combat capabilities may not be as strong as theirs, but if they work together, Xia Yao and Wuxing cannot defeat them. These masters should be left to you." I can protect myself. Don't worry."
Seeing Wen Wan, Bai Shinian really didn¡¯t want it. He started to become irrational at the moment. "I'll tell you the truth. The master I'm looking for is not only to protect you, but also to set up a natural barrier for you. Although you said it categorically, who can guarantee every eventuality. I'm not I can't trust you because the people around you are so uneasy. Otherwise, how could a woman like Qi Liniang have figured you out so easily? Bed. I don¡¯t want to be someone else¡¯s cheap girl when I give birth to a child. I tell you, you have to accept it, and you have to accept it if you don¡¯t.¡± This is unreasonable.
Bai Shinian was a little helpless: "Are you so unsure of me?"
She hummed softly and said, "Of course. You don't want to think about your glorious history. When you were in Jiangnan, you provoked Li Yuxue, and you provoked Qi Liniang at the border. Who knows what will happen in the future! Moreover, it's really not the case. I'm trying to scare you. If Qi Li Niang wants to take revenge on you and steals your marching plan, it's not like you won't be able to eat. Such a loss.¡±
Bai Shinian shook his head and said with a smile: "You are obviously jealous, but you still say it so righteously."
Wen Wan said with a serious face: "Bai Shinian, I'm not kidding you. A woman's jealousy is more lethal than the sword in a man's hand. When I say this, you may think it's a bit alarmist, and you may think I'm jealous. But If something like this happens? How will you face the 200,000 soldiers at the border?"
Bai Shinian was stunned.
Wen Wan said sternly: "There are some things that we must be prepared for. The reason why I have survived so many years is not due to luck or luck, but to my caution. You will go to the border this time, and there are many dangers. You must not neglect it." Careless. Shi Nian, I am not worried about the people around you.Believe them, on the contrary, I believe them, just as you believe them. But they are different from the confidants around me. None of my confidants have any weaknesses. And these henchmen of yours all have their own weaknesses. Just be afraid that your enemies will seize on their weaknesses and force them to betray you. When the time comes, there will be no regrets. The enemy is not scary, what is scary is the presence of spies within. "
Bai Shinian flipped Wen Wan's hair and didn't speak for a long time. Wen Wan was right. His marriage to Wen Wan was equivalent to a slap in the face to Qi Quan, and the two had already become enemies. Qi Quan wouldn't do anything to him on the surface, but he would definitely do something to him behind his back. Returning to the border this time was indeed full of crises. Wen Wan had already thought about it for him: "Okay, I'll let you decide how to arrange it. You" So her originally sour and jealous behavior was changed by Wen Wan's witty words into someone who knows how to worry about her husband. daughter in law.
Listening to the gentle rumble of the carriage, he sighed in an inaudible voice, making his nose feel a little sore. Put your head down. Don't let someone see it.
Bai Shinian looked at Wen Wan who was full of reluctance and said that in the beauty's arms, there is a hero's grave. Unexpectedly, he would also have this day. He kissed Wen Wan on the forehead and murmured: "Daughter-in-law, I will definitely come back safely. From now on, we will never be separated again." Ten years, when Bai Shinian thinks of this number, feels so far away. How to spend the long night in the future!
Xia Ying called out softly, "General, Princess." Seeing that there was no sound at all in the carriage, she looked at Xia Yu, who was about to stick to the carriage and listen. I heard people inside asking what was wrong.
Xia Yao paused and said, "Princess, General, can I come in?"
Opening the car door, the cold wind from outside blew in. But it¡¯s already February, and it¡¯s not as cold as it was here. Xia Yao came in and looked at Bai Shinian, meaning it was inconvenient to talk with you.
With a gentle smile: "If you have something to say, just say it!" Unfortunately, Xia Yao still looked at Bai Shinian.
Bai Shinian smiled bitterly, not because he thought he was in the way, but he walked out wisely. When Wen Wan waited for Bai Shinian to go out, her expression darkened: "What happened to Qi Liniang?" This was the only thing that could make Xia Yao avoid Bai Shinian.
Xia Yao looked gloomy: "This woman is in the capital. Moreover, she is not far from the gate. She should be waiting for the princess and the general there."
There was a coldness in Wen Wan's eyes: "So, she is going to put on a good show in the capital." After Wen Wan said this, she clenched her hands. Is this woman really who she thinks she is?
Xia Yao nodded: "Princess Princess, let's just settle this matter."
Wen Wan shook her head: "No need. What is supposed to come will come. If you want to solve it, I have already let you solve it. Before, I didn't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately. Now, let's see. If she wants to sing, let her sing. I want to see , which drama is she going to sing?¡±
Xia Yao didn't understand this: "Princess, this woman is definitely not an economical lamp. Princess, it's better to solve it as soon as possible." Solved, it means that the trouble is solved.
Wen Wan took a deep breath: "I don't think things are that simple. I was afraid that I would be suspicious before, but now I have a feeling. This Qi Li mother is not a stupid person. It is possible that the so-called infatuation is pretended. Think about it, that family Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s strange that a young lady would voluntarily become a concubine, and her husband wouldn¡¯t enter the house for three years?¡±
Xia Yao's eyes widened: "Princess, are you saying she is a spy? How is this possible?" How could the daughter of a dignified marshal be a spy? Moreover, what is the purpose of being by Bai Shinian's side? It's unbelievable.
Wen Wan shook her head: "I just have this suspicion. I don't know the details now. I will make a judgment after meeting the person."
Xia Yao nodded, if this is really the case, you have to deal with it carefully. (To be continued)
